PCDLRN ActiveX DLL > PartProgram Object : OutputFileIndex Property

Glossary Item Box

# Description

When you generate a saved output file using automatic indexing with the Edit window PRINT/AUTO command, PC-DMIS uses an index value as a base. It then it increments the index if there's a duplicate file name in the same directory so that you end up with a unique file name.

This property lets you get or set the index value stored in the part program.

# Syntax

Visual Basic
    Public Property OutputFileIndex As Long

# Return Type

Long value showing the file's index value.

# Example

This example gets the saved index value stored in the part program and places it in a saveIndex variable. The code then sets the index value to a new value of newIndex. Finally, it restores the index to the original saveIndex value.

Example (Visual Basic) | Copy Code
--- | ---
    activePartProgram = App.ActivepartProgram
    dim saveIndex as Integer
    saveIndex = activePartProgram.OutputFileIndex
    activePartProgram.OutputFileIndex = newIndex
    ....
    ....
    activePartProgram.OutputFileIndex = saveIndex
